Product description Greek traditional small Rusks from Crete with Wholegrain Barley Flour and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Net Weight 400g Carton Boxes: A rusk is a food that we encounter from the ancient times until today. Its a form of dry and crunchy bread that has received twice the usual exposure to fire (in a stove). Its recipe resulted from the need of rural families, where the wife was also busy in being involved in agricultural work, was not able to knead fresh bread on a daily basis. Therefore, she used to knead a large quantity of bread once, which was then consumed fresh as long as it could last (2-3 days) and the rest was roasted a second time in the oven, in order to expel excess moisture and last even more. There is a large variety of rusks that are produced from different kinds of flours. Made with simple ingredients, rusks have a high nutritional value as they contain plenty of fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, and micronutrients. These little Rusks are based on extra virgin olive oil and its antioxidant properties according to Cretan-Mediterranean dietary standards. They were created by carrying on the tradition of combining whole grain wheat and barley, grinded in traditional mills to maintain their dietary fiber, which serves as a protective shield to the human body. Our Double-Baked, not fried Rusks, are perfect for your soups, salads etc. It is a modern suggestion for creative appetizers. Ingredients Wheat flour, 25% wholegrain barley flour, 2% Extra Virgin Olive Oil, vegetable oil (pomace oil), salt, yeast, barley malt P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions Keep in clean, dry and cool place.

Authentic, good flavour
Really nice. You can smell the police oil even before opening the bag. They're hard, as I think they should be, but crunchy and flavoursome. They went great with my Dakos salad. I put them in pieces and they got softer with the tomato and dressing juices.I wish they made bigger packs to reduce the amount of plastic, rather than 4 packs with 4 plastic bags.By the way, the plastic packaging is not fully sealed so it leaves crumbs everywhere. Please look into it.
